Using HTC Backup
Save the time and frustration of re-creating your personalized HTC One (E8) experience when you
do a factory reset or buy another phone. On HTC One (E8), use HTC Backup to do a daily backup to
the cloud so you can easily restore your content and settings next time.
HTC Backup uses your Google Drive or Dropbox storage to keep your content and settings. It can
back up and restore the following:
Personalization
settings These include your feed sources in HTC BlinkFeed, widgets, wallpaper,
Home screen layout, and ringtones.
Accounts and
passwords HTC Backup stores the login credentials for many popular email and
social network accounts, such as Exchange ActiveSync, Outlook.com, and
POP/IMAP.
Apps and settings These include your contacts stored on HTC One (E8), text messages, call
history, web bookmarks, personal dictionary, Wi-Fi networks, free apps
you've installed, grid size and sort order on the Apps screen, and more.
Backing up HTC One (E8) to Google Drive
Turn on HTC Backup to do a daily backup of your phone over Wi-Fi. Turn it on by selecting Back up
phone daily while doing the on-device setup. If you didn't do so, use the HTC Backup app.

additional data costs and take a long time. Using a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
1. Open the HTC Backup app.
2. Tap Turn on automatic backup.
3. Make sure Back up phone daily is selected, and then tap Next.
4. Sign in with your Google Account, HTC Account, or Facebook account.
